Changing money in Saigon? “No commission” doesn’t tell you the full cost.

This video features five names: Hà Tâm, Hưng Long, an Eximbank exchange counter, Mai Vân, and Kim Mai.

Before heading to any location, confirm its current address, opening hours, and authorization to exchange foreign currency. A well-known jewelry shop isn’t automatically an authorized exchange agent.

Then make three quick checks:

💱 Compare quotes for the same currency and amount.
💵 Ask exactly how much VND you’ll receive after any fees.
🧾 Count your money at the counter and keep the receipt.

Ask whether your banknotes’ condition affects acceptance or the quote, too.

A busy food stall isn’t a food safety guarantee.

Planning to explore Vietnam’s street food? Start with these three checks:

1. Look beyond the queue.
Watch how food is stored and handled. Clean utensils and separation between raw ingredients and ready-to-eat food matter more than how many people are eating.

2. Choose thoroughly cooked food served steaming hot.
Skip cooked dishes left sitting lukewarm. Food cooked to order can help reduce risk, but heat alone isn’t a guarantee.

3. Check your drinks, too.
Choose unopened, factory-sealed bottled water or properly treated water. Skip ice if you can’t confirm it was made with safe water.

Wash your hands before eating, and take your time choosing where to stop.

Before you say yes in Hanoi, ask what it costs.

Five situations worth knowing before your trip:

1. Shoe cleaning you didn’t request
Someone starts cleaning or repairing your shoes, then asks for payment. If you don’t want the service, clearly decline before they begin.

2. Unclear cyclo fares
Confirm the total price, route, duration, and number of passengers. Ask whether the quote covers the whole ride or each person.

3. Snacks, fruit, or photo props without a clear price
Ask about the cost before accepting anything—including an invitation to pose with a vendor’s carrying pole.

4. Unverified taxis
Book through an official app such as Xanh SM, then match the driver and plate number to your booking.

5. Confusing banknotes
Read the numbers, not just the colours. Check what you hand over and count your change before leaving.

A few quick checks can help you spend more time enjoying Hanoi.

Tipping in Vietnam? You don’t need to add extra to every bill.

Here’s a simple guide:
🍜 Street food and local eateries: Tipping generally isn’t expected. Paying the bill is perfectly fine.

🍽️ Restaurants and spas: Check whether a service charge is already included before deciding on an extra tip.

🧭 Tour guides and drivers: There’s no single nationwide tipping rate. Check your operator’s policy and any suggested amounts before your trip.

🚕 Taxis and Xanh SM rides: Rounding up a cash fare can be a small thank-you, but it’s your choice.

When tipping is discretionary, let the service—not pressure—guide your decision.

A walk through Hanoi, with plenty of reasons to stop and eat. 🍜
Bún chả with fresh herbs, little stools around a shared table, and a cool drink between stops—a few moments from our guests’ Hanoi walking street food tour.
There’s something lovely about getting to know a city over a meal.
Thank you for exploring Hanoi with ViTravel and making room for new flavours along the way!

Exchanging money in Hanoi? Ask this before handing over your cash.

“How much Vietnamese d**g will I receive after all fees?”

Here are five options to consider:

1. Bank branches
Try banks such as Vietcombank or BIDV. Check which branch accepts your currency, bring your passport, and confirm the cash-buying rate.

2. Authorized exchange agents
Check the specific outlet’s authorization—not just its reputation or location. A gold shop isn’t automatically a licensed exchange point.

3. Bank ATMs
A convenient way to withdraw VND with a compatible card. Check both the ATM charge and your card issuer’s fees.

4. Authorized hotel exchange desks
Ask whether your hotel provides an authorized exchange service and compare the final amount offered.

5. Bank exchange counters at Noi Bai Airport
Useful for getting cash on arrival. Compare the quote before deciding how much to change.

Keep your receipt, count your money at the counter, and follow ViTravel for more practical Vietnam travel tips.

Da Nang looks easy to explore. These five details are worth planning ahead.

1. Using beach services before checking the price.
At My Khe Beach, confirm the cost and rental duration before taking a lounger, booking a beach hut, or trying water sports.

2. Treating every attraction as a quick stop.
Ba Na Hills and Hoi An need travel time. Check your route from your actual starting point, and leave room between activities.

3. Expecting guaranteed clear views at the Golden Bridge.
Check the Ba Na Hills forecast before booking. Rain and fog can limit visibility, and mountain conditions can change.

4. Turning up for the Dragon Bridge show on the wrong night.
The regular fire-and-water show starts at 9 PM on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Check local updates before heading out.

5. Forgetting to leave room for Mi Quang.
Add this regional noodle dish to your food list—it deserves a place alongside your sightseeing plans.

Save this before planning your Da Nang days.

Will you hear your own language in Vietnam? You just might.

Vietnamese is the official language, but English is commonly used in tourism, especially in destinations such as Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang.

You may also meet guides who speak Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, or French. French remains part of Vietnam’s language landscape through education, culture, and its French-speaking community.

That doesn’t mean everyone speaks several languages. A little patience, a translation app, and a few Vietnamese phrases can help along the way.

Which language would you hope to find on your Vietnam trip?
